Ben Carson, the retired neurosurgeon and Republican presidential candidate, suggested in an interview Thursday that the U.S. should have bathrooms specifically for people who are transgender.
Carson was responding to questions about a recent ordinance in Houston that would have established nondiscrimination protections for gay and transgender people. Voters rejected the ordinance after an 18-month battle in which opponents argued that allowing transgender men and women to use their preferred public bathrooms would open the door to sexual predators who wanted to enter women's restrooms.
Carson's response: "How about we have a transgender bathroom?"
"It is not fair for them to make everybody else uncomfortable," he said. "It's one of the things that I don't particularly like about the [LGBT] movement. I think everybody has equal rights, but I'm not sure that anybody should have extra rights--extra rights when it comes to redefining everything for everybody else and imposing your view on everybody else."

Forrest Gump Carson. He has a new name that fits him to a T.
There you go, being practical again, Sal.
Ha....but what about the Hermaphrodites....?
I also want a Redheads Only bathroom.
:D
I honestly have no idea.
I’m not here as often as I used to be, but that is precisely why.
The world is your bathroom. You have the power ;)
Pffft.
They’re all used to him and would only ask for ‘their turn’ to carry him around.
Need something a bit more outrageous than a mere 6 foot Boa, at this point.
:)
Wrong “plumbing” for that.
LOL
Le’sigh
Did you forget to simply glare at someone? A bathroom will appear shortly. Perhaps in an RV. Perhaps constructed on the spot from the bones of those killed for raw materials.
Fear motivates remember?
Carson does verbal diarrhea....
and this guy does visual diarrhea
Contrast with some other candidates:
Hillary does lies
Trump seems to have a photographic memory for numbers
Cruz has audiographic memory
Make that 57...
You forgot the Hermaphrodites.
This is the most logical solution, even considering the initial construction and maintenance expense. If the courts say we have to tolerate this new phenomenon, or risk getting sued, fined and worse, then let the majority population have some say as to how this can be done.
Only because a dude with a giant butterfly net would draw too much attention.
;D
How could anyone possibly build a bathroom without the input of of 535 lawyers in DC?
Perhaps cracking open the elite heads in DC one might find an entire bucket load of rocks. Don’t forget these same heads are quite large and capacity is endless!
The more I get to hear, watch, and hear about Carson the less I like him and think he should never get the nomination.
He quoted a few scriptures and the support went up in Iowa and now he proved in the last debate he has no clue what so ever what he is doing or knows about the economy.
Scarred our building facade, too. It’s a charming, modest old farmhouse/bungalow probably from the 20’s with a nice, wide staircase leading to the front door. Of course, the ramp couldn’t go on the side of the building. There it is, right in front destroying the entire esthetic. It still burns me up.
I’m with you. He has now sunk to “blithering idiot” status in my book.
Carson is not ready for the big stage. Great to run the HHS , but no way the white house
My question too, who just the hell is supporting this guy.
He proved in the debates he is out of his element.
He says some whacky stuff.
He has never ran anything like Obama.
He has proved with his comments he is far from being a republican let alone a conservative.
So what nuts are supporting this guy?
